Cátedra OIT/ILO-Chair, 9th edition, 2025 | Ana Paula Rosa | Luís Claudino de Oliveira

Speaker(s) Ana Paula Rosa & Luís Claudino de Oliveira Title: The new ILO Convention on Biological Hazards Abstract: The adoption of Convention No. 192 and its Follow-up Recommendation (No. 209) by the International Labour Organization (ILO) is part of its constitutional mission to promote safer and healthier working conditions and represents a historic milestone and a step forward in the protection of workers' health from biological hazards. These standards arise in a context of increasing exposure to dangerous biological agents in the work environment, driven by factors such as globalisation, climate change, labour mobility and health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The identification of a gap in the framework of international labour standards, with comprehensive standards on biological hazards at work, highlighted the need for a specific convention. Convention No. 192 harmonizes and clarifies concepts, and along with its follow-up Recommendation, combines the fundamental principles and rights at work with effective practices for managing the risks inherent to exposure to dangerous biological agents in work environments, promoting a universal, equitable and sustainable protection model Biographical notes: Ana Paula Rosa is graduated in Geography from the University of Coimbra, postgraduate in Occupational Safety and Health Management.
